N17 Enchantment Reviews

N17 Enchantment

The N17 Enchantment in the Nouvelle Series is the top-of-the-line model in the 2015 Collection of adjustable air beds by Comfortaire, the original adjustable air bed company. It is roughly equivalent to the Elite Series Elite 2, but the cover is not quilted. This is a "17-Inch two-piece box-top" model combining Feran Ice® Technology moisture control, PerceptivePhase Foam™ temperature control, and Attune Design™ advanced air support with foam-rail edge support. The goal of this configuration is to keep the sleeper cool and dry while supporting the spine and relieving pressure points. Comfortaire's tag line for this model is, "High style, fresh ideas and the finest materials are the recipe for your best night’s sleep."

The sleeper first encounters the N17 Enchantment airbed mattress at the unquilted cover with Feran Ice® Technology. The soft knit cover fabric contains fibers that collect perspiration moisture and wick it away to keep the sleeping surface dry. In this process, the moisture evaporates, adding a cooling effect.

Just under the cover is a layer of PerceptivePhase Foam™. This is memory foam infused with gel that has phase change materials (PCMs) in it. PCMs change their physical state in response to temperature changes to keep temperatures withing a desired range. When temperatures exceed the range, the PCMs liquify, absorbing heat. When the temperature fallls below the range, they solidify, releasing heat.

Attune Design is a development from Comfortaire's Original Air Technology, with air chambers made of urethane film instead of cotton and latex. In the N17 Enchantment these are 3˝" high. The air chambers have only one foam layer between them and the sleeper. With Edge-to-Edge air, support can be adjusted for the entire surface area of the mattress.

The air chamber layer of the N17 Enchantment lies on a 6" high support core of high-resiliency polyurethane base foam. This protects and supports the Attune Design air core so it can better support the user. Under this is a 2" base pad.

Around the support core and base pad is an 8" high Foam Perimeter Support rail with 1.6 density.

The Attune air chambers are inflated by a Whisperflo 7200 (Wf7) air pump, This is a dual diaphragm system which operates quietly. It can inflate the chambers 25% firmer than the Whisperflo 4200 used on earlier models.
